Yuri Manga License Announcements from San Diego Comic Con

July 28th, 2007

Seven Seas has announced that they have licensed Hayate x Blade, which makes me happy for several reasons. A while back, they asked me to send a list of good Yuri titles and, while I said that it was not Yuri, I suggested that they look into this because it is so *good*. Based on their recent acquisitions of the Ichijinsha properties and now HxB, it looks like they really took my list quite seriously.

7S also announced licenses for Hakamada Mera’s Akatsuki-iro no Senpuku Majo, and two novels, Girls Love and Girls Revolution, neither of which I am familiar with. I’ll look into them.

(Now, can you guys at 7S send me the review copies you promised, so I can review your books, already?)

Tokyopop has announced the Kannazuki no Miko manga, which will give us a whole new generation of degenerates who think rape is sexy as long as it’s two women. The ending – not nearly as Yuri as the anime. I look forward to the mental gymnastics the end will cause in readers who inisist in Chikane and Himeko as a couple. :-)

Will be away all day, so more announcements tomorrow, if there’s any to be had.
